European Commission creates registry for human embryonic stem cell lines
An EU press release of 29 March 2007 states:
"The European Commission has today agreed funding for the creation of a European registry for human embryonic stem cell lines. The main objective of this new initiative, funded through the EU's Research Framework Programme, is to provide comprehensive information about all human embryonic stem cells lines available in Europe. A publicly accessible internet site will contain high quality data about the cell lines (e.g. cell characteristics) and will inform on interesting developments, such as clinical trials. There will be details on the sources of the stem cell lines and contact data. The registry will also include information on human embryonic stem cell lines obtained from on-going and future EU-funded projects. 81 different lines are currently used in EU projects. The project has been agreed for 3 years, with EU funding of just over €1m."

Commenting on the Registry initiative, Professor Peter Andrews, Coordinator of the ESTOOLS project, said: "The EU Stem Cell Registry will provide an important resource to help researchers throughout Europe make use of embryonic stem cells in a most efficient and productive way. In ESTOOLS we are developing tools and methods for working with ES cells. Our goals are complementary to those of the Registry, and we look forward to working together towards realising the potential of these exciting cells to benefit human healthcare."
